For those who were mad at ME3 Ending

This goes beyond the ending now. It was the treatment of the fans that we're now peeved about. BW continues to pat itself on the back and listens selectively to fan feedback as long as it does not deal with the ending.

They call us entitled and in the minority despite all the polls taken over the past year still having a beef with the ending.

Now its about being treated like we were unreasonable. First off we never asked for 16 endings. We were told a possibility of 16 and would have been happy with 6 heck even 3 radically different endings.

We were lead to believe that choices would have a profond impact on the endings. Those major choices being the Rachni Queen, the Councel and saving the destiny ascension. Admiral or Udina on the counsel. The Reaper base. all of them had 0 impact.

We were told no ABC endings where we could say what kind of ending we got... Yet that's what we got. Bold claims were made and were scolded and talked down too simply for taking BW up on their offer.

What did we get. BW reps saying at pax East we couldn't possibly expect 149 different endings... I agree we were never told we could get that many. In fact every campaign promise never even came close to the hype or claims. The fans were so ill treated and despite being in the majority Bioware simply has to say. No you're not and they retreat back into their self praising organization. When the fans can praise you and you don't need to retreat to your fortress that is success.

But hey, I am a year into this and I am still just as peeved as I was when I finished the game. The ending is terrible, the way the fans were treated was terrible and all this company can do is continue to ban or ignore dissenters.

At this point the damage control should be how it treats fans, but who cares right?

Just stop buying their games. These people blindly defend a new corporate policy that makes their fans expendable and they don't even realize that if the next series ME4 doesn't perform well that most of their jobs will be just as expendable as the fans they betrayed.

I agree with this posting 100%.. After the Citadel DLC, I can't bring myself to buy anything Bioware anymore.. Hard enough to convince myself just to buy the Citadel.. Though I did like it, it still doesn't undo the depressing under-theme of knowing no matter what, you will still lose..

Hold the Line.. For life..

for me it makes the rest of the game even MORE depressing, i was at least able to play before but now with the citadel DLC i can't do it.

not knowing what happens has put me off playing ME3, and even ME1 and ME2 feel bitter, with headcannon > being the only thing to will me on, which isn't good.

I guess I can understand that, but when looking from a developer point of view... it's impossible to know exactly what kind of future a player has in store for Shepard. Some want him/her returning to the alliance. Others want to settle down. I'm a sucker for happy endings. There's enough sadness in the real world. I do not need it in my games. So I headcanon Shepard to live for 100s of years due to his implants significantly slowing the rate at which he ages. Others do not. There's no way to accurately reflect all that in an epilogue.

If it had been up to me, I'd have expanded the final conversation with Anderson by several minutes and having him ask Shepard what's next for him (at this point they've practically won - or so they think - so there's time to look to the future). Then Shepard could explain his plans for the future, allowing for a more personal epilogue to be made. Obviously bioware failed spectacularly in this department, but I do not think under the current circumstances it would've been possible to make a detailed epilogue for Shepard. At least not one that would go against at least some people's headcanons for Shepard's future. So I would've been happy with a small epilogue showing a few pictures of Shepard and various companions, I could've taken it from there.

:)If it had been up to me, after the "breath" scene,and just after they placed Shepards name on the wall, the LI or Joker if no LI survived, receives a notice form Hackett saying they found Shepard. I could have taken it from there. I didn't really need Shepard to tell me about future plans, that's too specific for so many people playing. I just wanted someone to say out loud that with high enough ems Shepard would actually live to have a future with the LI if there was one.

But I am playing a couple of Shepards with the new dlc, though I am using this to ignore the ending and ME3 is not going to be a game I play the same way I played/play 1 and 2. The citadel dlc is the only one I purchased and unless they come out with a package deal someday that includes the "Happy Ending Mod for the 306" I'm not getting any other dlc for ME3. <_<

I'll wait to see what future games are like before getting them. That is the lesson i learned from ME3.

The ending wasn't the only problem, but it was the one that hit me in the head.
